Abstract: Hearing loss (HL) is increasingly recognized as a public health problem. Even though hearing aids (HA) are the primary rehabilitation option, majority of adults with HL who obtain HAs do not use them. Objectives; The study aimed to identify the factors that distinguish between HA users and non-users, describe the reasons reported by the participants related to their dissatisfaction with the HAs and assess the perceived usefulness of HAs in successful HA owners using International Outcome Inventory-Hearing Aids (IOI-HA).
